Lives and works in New York City. Bará’s artistic practice combines his education and experience as a filmmaker, his interest in visual narratives, and an empirical approach to everyday situations. His work is generated through the appropriation of visual elements and materials taken from his immediate environment. They are presented as traces of a story of contemporary reality and are arranged as fragments to compose new narratives. Museum exhibitions include Leviatán at the Museo de Arte Raúl Anguiano, Guadalajara, and Tinnitus y Fosfenos at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Zapopan, both in 2014. His project Aesthetics of a Collapsed System was presented at Casa Pedregal in Mexico City in September 2016.
Bará was a cinematographer for the documentary short The Solitude of Memory, which was included in the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. He was also a guest at the festival’s Semaine de la Critique. The film won the Jury Award for Documentary Short at the Slamdance Film Festival that same year. In 2016, Bará was a resident at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York, and he is currently an artist in residence at Queenspace, also in New York.
